The service now covers’unlimited repairs for accidental damage protection’. According to an old version of the AppleCare page, you used to be limited to two incidents of accidental harm protection every 12 months.

Apple’s fine print clearly notes that the damage has to be caused by’unexpected and unintentional events’ to fall under AppleCare plus. A screen or back glass repair will cost $ 29, while’other accidental damage’ will run you $ 99.

Covering the iPhone 14 Pro will cost $ 9.99 a month or $ 199 for two years. It’s $ 8.999 a month versus $ 7.9999 a month – or an extra $ 30 if you buy the two-year plan.

The upgrade to the service is n’t just for the phones Apple announced on Wednesday. You can also get it for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12, as well as the rest of Apple’s lineup. Getting AppleCare plus for the Apple Watch Ultra does cost a little more than it does for the series 8.

I purchased AppleCare plus for my iPhone 12 in December 2020, and received an email from Apple telling me that my plan’now protects your covered device from accidental damage from handling’. The change is also retroactive.

If you lose your iPhone more than twice a year, you’ll be out of luck. If you get AppleCare plus with theft and loss protection, replacements for stolen or misplaced iPhones are still limited to two per year.
